    Episode 01: Find Your Fitness "Why?"
    Nov 30 2021
    “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Lao Tzu, 6th Century BC, rom Chapter 64 of the Dao De Jing We don’t have to go for 1,000 mile runs or do 1,000 reps. We need to go for what helps us. What makes the cloud of depression dissipate. What pushes our minds and bodies through the grief of loss. What makes us feel alive. Before we take our first step towards fitness we need to determine our “Why?” Join me in this first episode of 'Up In The Morning' as I share my "Why?", some research on exercise to help resist disease and the positive effect being active has on depression and anxiety.
